This is a definitely must watch movie.I mean it.Right after watching it, my hands just itching to write the review.So, here I go.

This movie is not a typical alien-came -to-earth movie. For me, it's more than that. *warning: spoiler*In the movie, the aliens is forced to live as refugees on earth after their spaceship broke down. Humans despise them because they firmly believe that the aliens don't belong here. Aliens discrimination can be seen everywhere even after they have stayed for almost two decades; aliens can't share the playground with humans, can't use the subway and they even can't dine in the restaurant. They have no choice but to live in slums where poverty and crimes escalate each and every day.

I view the aliens in this movie as a metaphor of the Palestinian Muslims and the human race as the Israeli's Jews; as if the director is trying to tell the audience about how the Palestinians were abused of their right and freedom. Actually, this movie can be view from many different angle. It's totally up to the audience. I don't know why, but the thought of Jews and Palestinians just hits me during the part when Wikus (the leading actor) intrudes the aliens' homes with armed MNU officers. You'll understand more of what I'm babbling after you watch the movie for yourself.

At one point I started thinking. Who is the director? What actually he wanted to convey through his movie? So, i googled the movie and the director. Result: The movie is written by Teri Tatchell and Neill Blomkamp; but Neill alone directed the movie.

[Source: Wikipedia]Neill Blomkamp is a South African born, Vancouver BC -based director of feature-length and short films and advertisements. Blomkamp employs a documentary-style, hand-held, cinema verite technique, blending seamlessly with naturalistic and photo-realistic computer generated effects. He directed a series of three short films set in the Halo universe (known collectively as Landfall) and in 2008 he won the Cannes Lions 2008 – Film Lions Grand Prix for the HALO "combat" web commercial. He was slated to direct his first feature, an adaptation of the Halo video game before funding for that film collapsed. Peter Jackson, the producer of that project, decided instead to produce an adaptation of Blomkamp's earlier short film Alive in Joburg. Blomkamp directed District 9 which was released in August, 2009.[Source: Wikipedia] From the movie, MNU's eviction and relocation of the aliens is based on District Six, a former inner-city residential area in Cape Town, South Africa. The district was declared a "whites only" area by the apartheid government in 1966 and the population of 60,000 forcibly relocated to Cape Flats, 25 kilometres away during the following years.

So, there you go. That is what on his mind. Not same with mine, but it's a free world. You can sue me for thinking differently...i think? Whatever.

I have much more to tell actually, for instance the unique marketing campaign of this movie (click here for more info), but I'll be striping the suspense out of it. The only solution is, GO AND WATCH THE MOVIE la! Tell me after that what you think of the movie, ok?

p/s: I've developed a habit - watching movie all by myself! Kinda fun actually, just grab your key and drove to the nearest cinema. No hassle. Try it!

Yesterday was the premier of Hannah Montana the Movie. I watched it; alone. Another crazy thing I did this week. *applause*

To tell you the truth, I'm no big fan of Hannah or Miley; and putting the movie in my 'must watch' list is definitely out of the question. I was attracted to watch the movie since I adore her song "The Climb" very much.It's very inspiring.

To my surprise, I almost shed my tears when I watched it. The movie touched my heart in a way I never would think of. Don't get me wrong; it wasn't a sad-titanic-kind of movie. Frankly speaking, even a 5 year old can figure out how the story ends; on the surface it may seems like another typical idol movie; but if you try to dive deeper you may be surprised what you'll discover. For me, the movie is all about self discovery; who you are and who you want to be.

*warning: spoiler*

In the movie, Miley is so wrapped up in her Hannah-Montana-Glam world that she turned down her grandma's birthday invitation without hesitation to perform in an award show; not to mention she just ruined her best friend's sweet 16 party. So, her father decided to take her back to their hometown in the countryside or we so called 'kampung halaman' in a two weeks term to 'clean up' her attitude. Of course at first she put up budak-bandar-baru-1st-time-masuk-kampung attitude, but gradually she realized the most important thing in her life than fame and fortune. Thus, she is torn between being Miley which is herself; or being the famous Hannah Montana which is her childhood dream.

Yes2 I know, there is a big-mammoth-size difference between movie and real life. But even so, I can pretty much relate it to my life right now. Life is all about choices. There will be many paths for us to choose, but to choose the right one was easy. Most people are very afraid that their choice will be a blunder that they will regret for the rest of their life. I was among those people some time ago. I prefer to follow the orthodox to play safe.

"Lepas SPM better masuk matrik, cepat sket masuk U".

So, I just did what I was told to do – fill in forms and so on. Sometimes I even wonder, what if back then I chose not to enter matrix but instead go for diploma. What will happen to me today? Will I be in an office working my a** off or will I continue my study for a degree scroll?

But, as good as it sounds I can never turn back time; at least not till someone really invent a time machine. So, at some point in my life I decided to go my own way; explore as many opportunity as possible. There are so many things to discover out there, live life as if you are about to die tomorrow. *credits goes to Rehan*

Starting today, I decided to live life to the fullest; seize every golden moments that I have and most important of all – take all the time in the world to enjoy it.

p/s: maybe I should start to list down the things I've been dying to do. Where's my pen eh?

Finally I've managed to sum up my courage to write this post. I hate to do this but at one point I feel obligated to do it. I tried to share it with my friends but somehow I can't utter a single word from my mouth. So maybe blogging can help to lift off some weight from my shoulder. Frankly speaking, I've been hesitating to write this post for almost a week now. But at last I decided to put it up after a series of interesting events that cleared my cluttering head. Running was always the shortest way out but eventually it will catch up to me. So what the heck…

*clearing throat*

So here goes nothing….

Sharing my emotions with the people around me was never an easy task. I think it has something to do with my ego. *how to know for sure ah?* I hate to show my weaknesses in front of people. It makes me feel very vulnerable and helpless. I usually will put up a tough and sturdy mask over my face to hide it. Sometimes I feel like tones of heavy duty bricks piled up in my head but as usual I will keep it to myself. It's ok for me actually because I always have a way to overcome it.

For instance, I will drive around town in my car *my precious Sagawara to be exact* just to cool off my head and start thinking a solution; or I will bury myself in bed the whole day wishing that the answer will came into my dream. Sometimes it takes 1 minute for me to sort things out; sometimes forever. But in any case, I know I will somehow find a way out.

But this time it's different; totally different. I can't find the way. I'm lost.

I don't know where my life is heading to or where I'm supposed to go. I don't know what I want.

I don't want to live an ordinary life; graduating - get a job - make money - buy my dream car - get married - have children and so on. For me that's a dull life.

I tried to make my life more interesting; going out with my friends every other night to have fun but I know I'm just chasing down temporary high. It will never last. So I tried setting up my own business but after 5 months, it's proven to be futile because my heart is not on it. I know now that is not what I want.

Looking back in my 22 years of life, I'm trying to figure out what I have accomplished. None. Zero. Nada. I have done nothing significant or groundbreaking in my life. I feel very ashamed of myself. Some people at my age have already bought their own cars; make a fortune for living or established their own brand or clothes line. Right now I don't want any fame or fortune. Honestly, I don't know what my heart wants. Clueless. *sigh*I think I'm going in circles.

I could recall that once I actually do have a dream. I dreamed that one day I will be a vet then travel to Serengeti [a National Park in Africa] to aid and protect the endangered animal species there; take care of a baby orphan leopard or maybe just monitoring the rhino's population*as a result of watching too much Animal Planet I guess ha3*. But somewhere along the road that dream died. I don't know when or why. I didn't even realize it.

So, at this point I still don't know what I want. Should I try to chase back my old dream? Or should I just laid back and wait for changes?

I think the reason I don't know what I want is that I haven't truly understand myself. I really envy people that prefer to live a simple and plain life, expecting nothing more out of it. If only my mind can be as simple as theirs. But I don't want to live a simple life; I know I was meant to do something extraordinary in my life. *sigh* I think I'm going in circles again.

I think I have a lot of self-discovering to do. I have to figure out as soon as possible where my heart is. I have to find a clue that can point me to the right direction. As for now I will just go with the flow; cherishing the friendship that I have, appreciating every bits and pieces of my life and at the same time enjoying every single second of it. I decided to try out every possibility and chances that i have until i discover the real ME.

That is my schedule for 3 straight days. Yes only THREE days, tapi penatnya..ya ampuuuuuun…Tuhan saja yang tahu. Thank God on the 4th day, Ayah was at home and he taken over the 'driver' part. Those THREE days was really a wakeup call for me. It makes me wonder, how can Mak do all of this day after day without a word of complain? Then I realize, so this is the power of LOVE. Yes, it's LOVE bebeh! Raising up 8 children is definitely not an easy job. No gaji, cuti sakit, kwsp or whatsoever.

Well, you know her sendi is sakit2 everywhere, so aku kena papah Mak setiap kali Mak mahu ke bilik air. Then, I have to help her put her on panties because she said that its way too painful for her to bend over. *should I censor this part?*This was certainly the most, I mean the MOST awkward moment of my life. I didn't expect I would have do this, at least not when Mak is only 47.

For a split second there was a brief silence between us. I don't know what's on her mind but I have no idea why at that particular moment I feel a chill suddenly ran down my spine and I have goosebumps on my hands; Mak have this Patrick-friend-of-Spongebob-blur-look drawn on her face.

Well, there you go guys. That's the story that I want to share. Sometimes a tiny little thing can leave a big impression to a person. You don't need to invent a genius robot to help your mother with her chores; no need for a can-cook-all-kinds-of-food machines to help her in the kitchen; no need for an F1 driver to get her to the hospital when she is sick. All she need is time. YOUR TIME. Just spend some time with her and who knows what surprise you will get.

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head saying,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep tryin
Gotta keep my head held high

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s a climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No, I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on

You got your popstar, I'll be your rockstar
When it's a suicide, you call it superstar
Check out the forecast, predictions wont stop
You get your fifteen, and then they take the spot

Lets go, lets go
And then you're ready to go
Lets go lets go
Cause it's the end of the show
Lets go lets go
So just get ready to go
Lets go lets go
Lets go lets go

All the time that you were gone,
I thought about how things went wrong
Now you're coming down to earth
Ok, hello, welcome to the world

She saw the bright lights
She caught the fever
She got contagious
She never leave it
So no more time spent
And no more free shit
In fact this free ride has reached it's destination

Lifes a tour, I'm so sure
The ex will come before you exit girl
No more games, I confess
Far from lane I'm just so fresh
While cubit lee(?), it's the big boss
You get on the block, mr Rudolf
Kevin! 2 stars, hold your applause
Hold it down to yalls all guitars
Half my life I sacrifice
But I only came to party tonight
New chicks, get my drinks up
Every weekend we can link up
New rings, with the big cuts
Only be the best sport, get your mix up
I took my time she love me, me such
When she closes her eyes it's what she thinks of
Boss

Actually today i went to see an apartment with Kak Su @ Taman Sutera. At first the place seems very deserted. Kawasan baru nak bangun, public transport pun takde [luckily all of us have transports]. But once the kind landlord showed us the access roads to many places, I'm stunned! Completely shocked!
